Do you want to know anything about my staying in America Well, let me tell you the truth, it is really an eye－opening experience to study here.
In China, I have had English classes five times a week since the fifth grade. However, I didn't know textbook English was very different from everyday English until I came to Hotchkiss School, Connecticut.
When I first studied English, I was told to say “I am fine.” when people say “How are you？” But in the US, I found that people say “I am good.” or “I am tired.”
One day, someone greeted me with “What's up？” It made me confused. I thought for a moment and then smiled because I didn't know what to say.
Since then, I have discovered more and more differences between Chinese and the US cultures. To my surprise, the US girls spend a lot of time in burning sun getting a tan(晒黑). However, in China, girls try every possible way to get their skin paler(白的)．
I am also surprised by how hard－working the US students are. In China, schoolwork is almost everything, so we study hard all the time. But here, an “excellent” student gets good grades, does a lot for the public and plays sports or music. The kids here are so talented. I am starting to be sorry that I gave up playing the piano at an early age and that I have never thought about sports.

61．Possible version:
To the Editor,
I’m a middle school student. I think it is important to save tigers. Yesterday I heard a report about saving tigers. It said that the population of wild tigers in China now is less than fifty. That’s surprising! There are two main reasons for this. One is that some people kill tigers to make money. The other reason is that people cut down lots of forests, so tigers have fewer places to live and less food to eat. We must save the trees and ask people not to buy things made of tiger skins. I also hope that the government will take steps to pass laws to protect tigers from being killed. It’s not just for tigers.
We should all work together to make the earth a safe home both for humans and animals.
Yours sincerely
Li Lei
